Social dominance explains within-ejaculate variation in sperm design in a passerine bird
BACKGROUND: Comparative studies suggest that sperm competition exerts stabilizing selection towards an optimal sperm design – e.g., the relative size and covariation of different sperm sections or a quantitative measure of sperm shape - that maximizes male fertility, which results in reduced levels...
